Spotlight

At GSGM, we bring you the latest of everything, including our Spotlight section, which is our ‘Editors Picks’ of the most intriguing, have-to-listen-to tracks. Some of the songs we discuss are new, but some we put in our Spotlight section are ones to make you think.

Our writers think about the songs that make the most impact and tell you why you should listen to them, or, listen again but through a whole new perspective. These are the songs that make a difference for a reason; maybe just to the writers themselves, or to the wider audience. But, the tracks are always special and unique in a way that we feel they should be given extra attention to, so be sure to keep checking back with us at GSGM, and see what tracks we are talking about next!
